IEP Online vs SEN Master

IEP Online helps school districts build and manage individualized education plans while supporting ministry requirements. Its workflows cover mandated IEP and identification and placement processes, clinical services, special education equipment, special transportation, and data analytics. Districts can customize forms and workflows for needs such as safety plans, student learning profiles, consent, and report cards. Reporting supports Ontario School Information System submissions and Ministry-compliant PDF forms. The system can connect with an existing student information system and Microsoft Active Directory, including single sign-on. It also supports meeting-planning email notifications and electronic document delivery that lets families respond. Its Equipment Online module tracks and assigns special equipment and loaner assets; Clinical Services manages referrals, consent, and service tracking; Transportation Online handles special transport requests and approvals. IEP Online offers hosted or self-hosted installations and a browser-based dashboard compatible with most browsers without special add-ons. Pricing is on request.

SEN Master is hosted software for schools tracking Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) and special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) provision. Its annual-review tools track stages, calculate milestone dates and collect input from staff, parents and professionals. A SENCO dashboard flags overdue or missing targets, strategies and EHCP obligations across cohorts or filtered groups. Schools can create reusable questionnaires and view or export responses. Student profiles provide teachers with live targets and strategies, while assessment matrices and group comparisons support progress monitoring and PDF report exports. The product includes hundreds of preloaded SMART targets and strategies organised by SEN area; schools can personalize them or create their own. Intervention tools cover student enrolment, attendance and progress measurement using custom assessment scales. Automatic student-data syncing is supported for SIMS, Arbor, Bromcom and ScholarPack. SEN Master runs in a browser without installation. The paid annual school licence is available by quote, and the site offers a 42-day trial. Each school licence is for that school's employees, and fewer authorised users do not reduce the fee.
